<p>- Hi. We're on this question right here. So we&apos;ve got sometime we get a little bit of evaluating the polynomials once in awhile. We just kinda have to know what is it trying to say. So if you have 4h square minus three and we're trying to figure out when X equals to five, so what is the result of that, right? So the four is here. The x equal to five means that you put five into a position of the X. So you put it right there, you square that, and you subtract a three, and the rest of the work is just doing bet mess, right? Five square is 25 and 25 x a 4 gives you 100, and 100 minus three give you 97 and this is your final answer. Thanks so much.</p>

Overview

Evaluating Polynomials

What You'll Learn

Evaluating a polynomial means substituting a value for the variable, then simplifying.

Follow order of operations: exponents, then multiplication, then addition/subtraction.

Example: 2x squared minus 3x plus 1 at x=4 equals 21.

Wrap a negative substitution in parentheses before simplifying.

A skipped order-of-operations step gives a wrong answer even with correct substitution.

What You'll Practice

Substituting single values into quadratic and cubic polynomials

Evaluating expressions with negative numbers and exponents

Working with multi-variable polynomials using given values

Applying PEMDAS to simplify polynomial expressions with fractions
